Wipe one expression from your face and be better off

[iamnobody]

I’m talking about surprise, be it fake - customized to neg a chick or real, it doesn't matter. If you want to improve your game properly, just wipe it and replace it with your infamous “I’ve seen it all” face. Because nothing can surprise or startle you, you are the real deal.

And this reminds me of something I experienced a couple of years back: it’s quite a good idea to game a chick while facing a mirror with the chick with her back to the mirror. You’ll be able to improve a lot on your body language.

Give it a try. Tonight.

You've got to be kidding.

This is "become a robot" frame. You lose your spontaneity and real charm by doing this stuff. Connection is impossible when you act this way.

Your infamous "I've seen it all" face is probably the most smug, smirkiest man-boy chimp-smirk that these women you're talking about will ever have seen. I strongly disagree, good sir!!

It's real life experience, child, not the chicks on your hard drive. It's not "become a robot" frame. We here affectionately call it Amused Mastery. Think before you type.

iamnobody, this is an excellent point.

I have always battled too expressive a face, and it is not attractive to women at all. This is an important point that doesn't get enough attention in the community.

NewJack, he is talking about practicing and normalizing oneself to masculinity. All tips here are training wheels to be used and modified to one's personality. They are discarded as "techniques" once the desired improvement is internalized and becomes automatically calibrated to the individual.

I enthusiastically endorse the OP's message. Lose that look of surprise.

Hey, if it helps you then its a good thing.

I'm trying to represent the viewpoint that "practicing masculinity", even as an idea, contains a dramatization and sense of alienation about masculinity. It is according to this worldview something like a mask to be put on. Masculinity is putting on your 'game face' and playing a masculine role. But in my view its deeper than that. If anything its trying to take off a mask... the mask of the "socially approved guy".

However, I understand that for some people its easier to internalize attitudes by aping social behaviors rather than self-analysis and introspection. Fake it until you make it. So really I have no right to speak since you are probably doing something effective for yourself, which is awesome.

However, the problem lies in the fact that the difficult emotions and anxiety underlying this entire process are not so easily side-stepped as just deciding not to act surprised. Or perfecting the mask of masculine alphaness. There are serious emotional issues relating to our sexuality that have to, at some point, be addressed. "Acting cool" is not going to fix these issues, and in fact it often makes them worse. All this advice is great for superficial meeting and possibly even banging chicks, but you can't fake the authentic self-sharing that goes on in a relationship, even just a three-week tango blast is going to bring all this stuff back up to the surface.

I'm no one who has a right to school anyone. These are just my stray thoughts on a subject that is dear to me.

Agree with OP, as a man I dont take seriously any other man which does a suprised face either real or fake after something has been told to him.

"OMG its incredible".... this is something I expect from some bimbo or a kid not a man and I guess women think the same wheter they admitt it or not.

Doing something like this for a man is no different than burping for a woman, you simply see that there is something wrong.

You make a good point OP. Testosterone generally makes you less emotionally expressive outside of things like rage, competition, aggression, joy and disgust. This is why women who are not emotionally expressive come off very masculine. Men who jump when they see a spider come off like raging faggots. So "surprise" is definitely a gay emotion to show.

Any advice that goes under the "Don't be a faggot" category gets my full endorsement. Good post.
